We advised Brookfield, investing through its core-infrastructure fund, together with Alecta, on the acquisition of 49 percent of Telia Company’s tower business in Finland and Norway. The acquired tower business is comprised of approximately 4,700 towers. Our work consisted of preparing and filing a foreign direct investment application for approval to the Finnish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, obtaining the approval on 14 December 2021.
